Body language and proxemics
Another main point in non verbal communication have the body language. This is not so universal as the facial expressions, but because of mass medias it became more universal. The proxemics will easily give informations about a person’s living place. In bigger cities have a person not o much free space, You have to share it with some others. In a rural part of a world, the persons have enough place, so the distances between the peoples are much higher. Japan is one of the countries where is the density of peoples the highest, so the proxemics by Japan peoples is much closer. It don’t mean that a Japan lady mean something with You, just because is she more close as a western one.
